Topic: Lulzbot Support

Not trying to ruffle feathers by mentioning another company, but this is more about helping fellow board members.

If there is a better forum for this, or if you feel it should be deleted, please feel free to move it or delete it. Just figured I'd share.

I got a call from a recruiter the other day asking if I was interested in doing support for Lulzbot. They nabbed my resume off of CB, had my number, and called.

I don't have the time to dedicate to a second job because I just started a new position with my company. However I've seen a lot of college types on here that may have more time.

http://www.lulzbot.com/?q=company/job-opportunities is the direct link to the posting on their site.

Job(s) is still posted, unsure if it is still open for sure.

I do not know if they are requiring you to go through a recruiting service. The service that called me was Kelly Services, if you need a lead.

Must be in the US, you more or less pick hours. Pay is 15/hr + you get a Lulzbot for support. Helping trouble shoot the printer, looking up orders on their system for people with questions.

Must have a land line.

They made it sound like it was a weekend/ after hours gig, not so much full time, but who knows?

MUST HAVE REPRAP knowledge. I did talk with one of the guys from Lulzbot (never hurts to see what they have to offer), and they will grill you. I'm fortunate that I've made two Mendels for friends recently and the steep learning curve that comes with being a newbie helped, however the Lulzbot is very much a different beast. If you are brand new to 3D printing, it may not be the best choice to apply.

Hope someone finds this useful.

I don't see a problem with posting this here.  Definitely a lot of knowledgable people here.  $15/hr isn't enough to take me away from the kids at night but I'm sure someone could use the lead.

hehe I have never made that much an hour lol. Unfortunately I don't think I am what they are looking for.

I edit my posts a lot.

Re: Lulzbot Support

I think it would be fun, I've never put together a RepRap style printer,  but I think I've done enough to the Solidoodle to have a solid understanding of the issues.  Plus, there is the perk of a free Lulzbot which is a good printer.   Too bad I'm not 10 years younger with more free time.

Lulzbot is only 40 miles from me. I should look into this.

You say grilled? They ask anything specific or what is common knowledge stuff, like basic troubleshooting and build issues and procedures?
